Movies that make 10 to 15 million. But they documentaries in recent years but they cost at most 2 million to make. What's unbelievable is this cost north of 75 million. It will need to bring in 150 million to earn a profit. I get Bezo and RW cult gonna snap up tickets and maybe even watch it this week. But this will need to make 8 million for like 20 weeks in a row to earn its money. No one think this happens. Within a week this slinks off most movie theaters play lists and hangs around only in the redest of cities. If thus makes the normal Desuza film, it heads off around 15 million.
